“…Instead, we model distortions such that a fraction of produced electricity is lost unexpectedly, never delivered, and cannot be recovered with any means. This exercise has a similar spirit to the model of Fried and Lagakos (2023), where electricity gets rationed in equilibrium, and producers use other inputs less efficiently as a result.…”

“…The contrast between Panel C of Table 1 and our benchmark results shown in Figure 4 shows one possibility through which the electricity sector could be a weak link in development. Yet it remains unanswered, just as in the model of Fried and Lagakos (2023), why producers would idle resources rather than generating their own power.…”

The average prevalence of disability in most African countries is 10%, but for many it exceeds the global disability prevalence rate of 15%. The extent to which this disability capturing functional and activity limitations results in permanent job loss, lowered lifetime income and assets, in part, depends upon the extent to which the onset of limitations becomes permanent. In this paper, we use five rounds of longitudinal data from rural Malawi, a low-income African country with high prevalence of disability, to examine path dependence in activity limitations. We estimate a dynamic linear panel data model where the coefficient on the one-period lagged health outcome captures path dependence in limitations. Our preferred Arellano–Bover estimates show that males experience partial persistence in both the incidence and intensity of severe limitations and no persistence in other limitations. Females, on the other hand, exhibit no persistence in any type of limitations. Our findings have important policy implications for computing the long-term costs associated with onset of activity limitations as these costs can be moderated by the recovery exhibited in these limitations.
